Sewer smoke testing is one of the fastest and most accurate ways to find cracks, leaks, or illegal connections in your sewer system. We force clean, non-toxic smoke into the system to see where it escapes—revealing issues underground, in walls, or on the roof. This test is perfect for finding hidden problems before they turn into costly repairs. It’s fast, safe, and super effective.
We deliver expert solutions to keep your home or business running smoothly, using the latest tools and technology for reliable, round-the-clock service.
Smoke testing is a simple and effective way to check your sewer lines for hidden problems. We use pressurized air to push clean, white smoke through the pipes—then look for where the smoke escapes. This shows us exactly where leaks, cracks, or illegal connections are located. The smoke is non-toxic, non-staining, and safe for people, pets, and property. It’s great for city systems, commercial buildings, or homeowners dealing with mystery odors or backup issues.
Sewer odors in your home or yard
Water pooling in unusual places
Frequent or unexplained backups
You’re buying, selling, or inspecting property
Required testing for municipalities or plumbing codes
